FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: ABOUT WEDDINGS.

Q1 Why should I have my wedding day videotaped as well as photographed?

A. As you plan your wedding day, keep in mind that you will forget 90% of it by the time you return from your honeymoon! It’s sad, but after months of careful planning to make your celebration perfect, your day will blur by in a heartbeat — laughter shared with friends and family, the long walk down the aisle, hearing yourself speaking your vows, the feel of your husband’s hand in your first dance, the toasts, the dances, the farewells, the outpouring of love that you will experience — will be mostly forgotten. As wedding videographers, we specialize in capturing those memories as only a motion picture can and preserving them for you watch, to relive, to savor, and to pass down to future generations.

Also, because your party is happening at every table and in every corner of the room simultaneously, video is the only way you can be there too. You’ll not only be able to relive your key moments of the day, you’ll also be able to watch your friends celebrate as well.

Q2 Why use a professional videographer? Why not Uncle Charlie or a budding videographer?

A. In a recent survey by the Wedding and Event Videographers Association half the bride’s who did not hire a professional videographer said that they regretted it. And an astounding 95% of brides who did use a professional videographer would urge future brides to hire a professional videographer.
Consider this:

1. A non-professional is most likely using equipment that is not up to professional standards, which requires at least 3 chip digital cameras.

2. A non-professional usually doesn’t carry wireless microphones and has little control over the audio. The audio will sound distant and full of echo.

3. A non-professional doesn’t shoot a wedding every weekend and therefore doesn’t have the practiced eye and steady hand of a pro.

4. A non-professional “chases” the action and misses many opportunities, while a pro gets to the right spot and is ready for the perfect shot. A non-professional isn’t used to the flow of a wedding celebration and will miss key moments that are impossible to recreate.

Q3 How should I choose a professional wedding videographer?

A. Hiring the right videographer makes a huge difference. There are no retakes in a live event. It must be done right the first time. Choose a wedding videographer who is accomplished and dedicated to outstanding service. It takes more than good equipment to make a great video. It takes talent, vision, and accomplished camera skills. Also keep in mind that your videographer will be with you throughout your wedding day. Choose someone you feel confident will interact well with both you and your guests. The most important element to shop for is the actual videographer, whose creative experience, professionalism and sensitivity are what you really want.
